what's up with this X2 black edition?

I fail to see what's black about the X2 6000Linky'

AMD's future is black if they keep doing this

Guess they didn't want to call it "FX" and went for a little extra marketing spin.

Which is working by the way, as everyone on the web who has a tech oriented site is now compelled to dedicate a little write-up for the new "Black Edition" and likely every tech forum has at least one thread like this one where folks are asking "WTF?"

I thought it was a pretty well known fact that blacks run faster?

Once you go black, you never go back...

The AMD Black Edition runs at 3.2Ghz and has an unlocked multiplier and a later stepping. It?s essentially AMD taking their 90nm process to the limit and giving overclockers more room.

They should have just called it the "Please don't switch to Intel, we're broke!" edition.
